Mr.. Embody returned to California
and established his residence in Los
Angeles in 1885, where he has since
been actively engaged in business. At
present he is dealing in real estate.
Mr.. Embody, when questioned by n
reporter as to his views on the pres
ent and future management of the
public schools, stated that he had no
hobbies, but il elected he would, hav-
ing the interest OF the city in gene al
at heart, do all he could to advance
the public schools. He stated that in
no State were private schools so we'll
patronized as in California. and evil
IDENTITY there was reason for it which
ii discovered. would aid the people to
put the public schools at the head in
every branch of education. He stated
that as a matter of course the lack of
sufficient buildings was at present the
main reason for the backwardness of
Los Angeles in educational matters,
which lack he hoped to see remedied
at an early date.

FONCK AGAIN.
He Will Relate His Woes I'm a
Habeas Corpus Proceeding.

Habeas Corpus Proceeding.
John L. Fonck, the ex-policeman,
who pleaded his own case to Judge
O'Melveny few days since, in which
he sought to explain why, in violation
of degree divorcing him from his
wife, he should continue to visit her,
to her annoyance and peace of mind,
obtained writ OF habeas corpds yes
terday. The Court was not of the
same opinion as Fonck, and after a
severe repremand, in which he stated
that the defendants record in the
courts had been such as to make him
entirely unworthy of belief, he SEN
fenced Fonck to thirty days in the
County Jail, and at the expiration Of
OF the sentence required that he exc
cute bond, in the sum of $500, to
keep the peace, as against his divorced
wife.
Fonck is in q dialemma, as he is in
doubt whether he can secure bonds,
and thus be compelled to take up
permanent quarters in the jail. His
attorney has, at his instance, sued out
a writ of habeas corpus, asking that
he be taken before Judge Hutton and
his case investigated.
The writ was made returnable to-
morrow at p. NJ

A LARGE TRANSFER.
Gen. Il. BoutOn's Purchase of the
CerritOs Rancho.


The largest and most important
transfer OF real estate which has been
recorded lately was that of lothian
Bixby, Thomas Flint and Lewellin
Bixby OF 7136 acres of LAID in the Ger
ritos ranch for the sum of $713. 900. 1t
is important not only on account OF
the large quantity OF land and amount
of the consideration, but on account
of the results that are to follow and
the quality of the land. The land is
situated between the old and new San
Gabriel rivers, and is the southern
extension OF the rich Los Nietos val
ley, wi h the hllly and broken land on
the southwestern portion OF the ranch
excluded. Surface water is reached at
eight to fourteen feet from the surface
and artesian water is obtainable on
every acre. Six strong wells, two OF
them on the highest land, are now
flowing, and a large quantity of water
flows in the San Gabriel river that can
De used for irrigating if desired.
The soil is rich sandy
loan and sedimentary formation,
we'll suited to walnuts, pears, apples,
berries and, in fact, every acre is fit
for garden or flower bed, and is
capable OF producing, if applied to
the purpose for which it Is best
adapted, from 100 to 1000 an acre;
A portion of this land will be placed
on the market Immediately in pieces
of ten, twenty, thirty and forty acres
at low price and on easy terms:
Before closing the purchase General
Bouton completed all necessary ar
rangements to secure the early con-
struction OF the Los Angeles and
Ocean railway, an enterprise in which
he is at the head. The road will
traverse the entire length OF this land,
and it is the intention to run frequent
trains at high speed and low fares, so
that people along this line will enjoy
especially advantageous railway facil-
tiles. The surveyors will commence
setting the stakes OF this road to-mor-

In persuant to call OF the chair
man of the American Party, about a
dozen members OF that particular per-
suasien met at the rooms OF the

left to the discretion of the individual
and that they should select from the
other parties such men as were best
qualified for the position they sought.
Also that they should select good
Americans in preference to foreign
born, but withall, better good for
eigner than q bad American.

THE NEW SHOOLHOUSE.
The Trustees Order II Completed as
S,,On as Possible.

At a meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees, yesterday, the Superintendent
was instructed to complete the new
schoolhouse at as early date as pos
sible and to employ all the men nee

possible dispatch; but has neglected
to do so. Hence the order.
Under this order it is expected that
the schoolhouse will be ready for oc-

When school opens in the new
schoolhouse quite an addition in at
tendance is expected, but the Board
will endeavor to get along with the
